Cardamom

Cardamom is a spice from the ginger family, and it’s been used in India for centuries. Cardamom has a warm, sweet, spicy flavor that pairs well with cinnamon. It is often used to flavor tea, desserts, bread and curries.

Cardamom can also be helpful as an anti-inflammatory agent when consumed in small amounts regularly; one study showed that consuming ground cardamom daily for 12 weeks increased blood levels of glutathione.

Mustard Seeds

Mustard seeds are used in Indian cooking. They are often ground and added to a tempering mixture to flavor various dishes. Mustard seeds can also be added directly to curries or stir-fried vegetables.

Mustard seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are suitable for your cardiovascular system.

They also may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, reduce inflammation (which can contribute to heart disease), boost brain function and memory loss prevention, regulate blood glucose levels (which helps prevent diabetes), support weight loss efforts by increasing metabolism, fight certain cancers like breast cancer or colorectal cancer due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

Cinnamon

For thousands of years, ancient cultures have used cinnamon, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant spice. Cinnamon’s health benefits include the following:

  • Natural anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce inflammation and prevent certain diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
  • A great source of manganese, calcium, iron and fiber—all important nutrients for overall health.
  • Antioxidants that protect cells from free radicals.

Cumin seeds

Cumin seeds are used to flavor curries, chutneys and pickles. Due to its volatile oils, cumin can be a digestive aid and give food a taste. The seeds are also high in calcium, iron and zinc, vital nutrients often lacking in the modern diet.

Cumin’s anti-inflammatory properties make it useful for treating many conditions, including arthritis or asthma. Cumin has also been shown to help prevent cancer cell growth by inhibiting angiogenesis.

Asafoetida

Asafoetida is a spice that’s used in Indian cooking. The taste is highly spicy and can be described as smelling like garlic and onions. But, it has been used for over 2000 years as a digestive aid to treat flatulence, bloating, and bad breath. It can also be added to curries, soups and stews to enhance the flavor.

Asafoetida contains sulfur compounds that help break down fats that cause constipation by stimulating bile production in your intestines so they can function properly again after eating a large meal with high amounts of protein or fat.

Conclusion

Indian spices are known for their healing properties and benefits. They have been used in traditional medicine for centuries and are still widely used today. The spices have medicinal properties but can also be used as condiments or added to recipes for flavor.
